The cyanidation leaching time depends on the material properties, cyanidation method, and conditions. Generally, agitation cyanidation leaching lasts more than 24 hours, sometimes extending to 40 hours, while gold telluride cyanidation requires 72 hours. Percolation cyanide leaching, on the other hand, takes more than 5 days.
Since no two mines are identical, varying ore and concentrator conditions necessitate different gold cyanide leaching methods and technical parameters. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a mineral processing test first. Based on the test results, the optimal conditions for the gold cyanide leaching process can be determined to achieve ideal technical and economic outcomes.
